Jordan Black, an accounting and finance double major who graduated in May 2022, placed 1st in the Fall 2021 ETF Portfolio Challenge with a portfolio returning 47.23 percent in 12 weeks.
The ETF Portfolio Challenge is a simulated investment challenge designed to help educate college students about investing in Exchange-Traded-Products. Through ETF Global, students are to construct a portfolio with 4-10 ETFs using a virtual endorsement of $100,000. Winners are invited to the prestigious ETP Forum in New York City to be recognized and network with 400+ financial professionals.
Black represented Clemson University at the ETP Forum in New York City to accept his special recognition. When asked about his success, Black cited the importance of preparation and having the right mentality to stay focused and motivated. He said, “After losing in spring 2021, I established my mentality…I didn’t win because I was the smartest. I won because I was the most prepared.”
